This is a collaborative work by a group of good friends, namely Jared Grabb of Peoria, IL (Thinker Thought Records), Lesser Birds of Paradise of Chicago, IL (Loose Thread Recordings), and cartoonist Grant Reynolds of Peoria, IL (Orange Dirt Comics). What has resulted from this collaboration is a charming and uplifting record. Both musical groups featured are known for complete acoustic arrangements, but on this record, each has slightly changed the formula. Jared Grabb has recorded his 2 songs completely solo acoustic for a more raw and honest sound, while the Lesser Birds of Paradise have plugged in and contributed 2 distorted electric arrangements. This is a must for fans of singer/songwriter/indie rock. Both bands will be touring the continental U.S. this summer.
